THANK YOU HABIBI♥️

Thank you VERY much, man! Much appreciated! ♥️

The advantage to me is less channels to deal with and thus a cleaner session and also super easy to export and send to different people. I never record a stereo wet of guitars, personally, but if that's what you need for your stuff, this obviously doesn't help.

Thanks for watching! About your questions: 1. No, just use a stereo track to do this, slap on Mix6to2 and then treat it like any other track, really. You can even still treat it like a stereo track and use stereo effects, if you don't feel like using a parallel FX channel. It can affect stem exports if you want to export raw without plugins, but that's not really an issue either as any DAW could just split the stereo track after / during import if it doesn't have a plugin to isolate either side of the stereo track. I hope that answers your questions!

Haha thank you so much for watching, my man! I hope the template helps you!

Happy Birthday - you have won gear! No dumb questions: yes you can pan them :)

@ hahahahaha that is actually a great birthday gift my brother! Thank you! ❤️

Thank you so much!

@@mammothaudioengineering !!!!!

Right? I'd rather play with someone who uses absolutely 0 vibrato than someone with bad vibrato. Absolute vibe killer.

DOWNPICKING OR BUST

Thank you so very much! I'll be releasing some new videos soon, I hope you stick around :)

It's Drumeo!

Awesome, thanks :)

Thank you so much!

"What happened that we got to this point?" I think it's because social media turned everything on its head with the algorithm. You only get to see things that are already similar to what you like. Liked a cat video on instagram? Here's a billion funny cats for you to check out. Same thing with music and Spotify. I obviously can't verify this, but I do think this whole thing has a play in it.

Don't get discouraged, vocals ARE hard! I'm just trying to make some of the aspects easier when it comes to production. I definitely use pitch correction on vocals in my productions with almost all bands as that's the sound the listeners expect - in that regard, in case you don't like the heavily tuned sound: just don't be too heavy handed with it and it'll still sound very natural!

@@mammothaudioengineering i guess i was asking more for the video, because you didn't talk about adding anything but everything sounds so well timed. I dont mind using auto tune in my productions either way. I am running into the issue of actually doing the vocal composition too, i have no idea which notes to try before actually recording them. Is there an easy way to figure out how to harmonize/layer things before actually recording takes? I usually compose most/all my instrumental in guitar pro but i have no idea how to plan the vocal composition before recording, and actually recording/rerecording ideas sounds very time consuming and tedious.

@@ShatterScript My bad! Yeah, editing and tuning is most definitely a step in almost any contemporary style, so once you got the right performance, definitely take tune and time adjust. About the writing aspect: it's hard to convey how to get this right in a comment, but there's generally two ways for me. I either write a melody and fit the words to it or I write lyrics and just improvise until I find something I enjoy. When I arrive at that point, I might change up the lyrics to make the melody work better or easier to sing, depending on the song, of course. Once I got the main melody, I like to at least harmonize on key words of the part or if it works and the song has the space for it, the whole section. I like harmonizing in thirds, fifths, sixths (which technically are the same as thirds, just an octave up or down) and sometimes octaves. You also don't need to stick to just one interval. If a third up sounds good on the first phrase, but on the next a fifth or sixth sounds better, just jump around! Also fun harmonizing trick: follow the chord progression. Stick to the root note and let the main vocal carry the melody while the backing is almost static!

Thank you so much man!!

That makes a lot of sense - sticking your comment so others can learn!

@@mammothaudioengineering Nice channel by the way! I love that the "algorithm" sometimes serves me these little gems :)

@@B0K1T0 that is very kind of you to say - thank you for being here!

You are so welcome! Thank you for watching!

Please do! If you upload something, I would LOVE to hear what you do with it!

@@mammothaudioengineering deal!

Thank you so much for the kind words and the suggestion! Yeah I think I can do that, no problem!

I have a new synth video to accompany rhythm guitars, it might be something for you!

Go back to hunting dinos my son

Wow, thank you! That is super super kind of you, I'm happy you enjoyed it.

Thanks for the kind words and thank you for watching!

I am full of it for having an opinion that differs from yours? :D get outta heeeere

@@mammothaudioengineering 1st of ty for your time 😉 2nd yes did you not listen to the whole live stream?? unfortunately she sound mediocre at best and....the vocal cracks wtf

Why not sing the old songs?

Yeah. No one is trying to replace, they're trying to move on. Would have been great if they vetted their choice a bit better, but I'm going to give her the benefit of the doubt. Being part of a cult this powerful, even if she joined willingly at some point, cannot be easy - ask any of the ex-members.

@@mammothaudioengineering I understand the point. The fact is that I really trust Mike Shinoda in his official declaration of praise towards this woman. Have a nice day, greetings from Rome Italy

@@Romalvx Grazie mille, buona giornata a te!

@@mammothaudioengineering Anche a te! Thank you ! I‘ll sign up because I like your channel and the space you give to people‘s opinion.

@@Romalvx thank you so much, I highly appreciate that - thank you for being here!

I think you came to the right conclusion but your reasoning is very off to me. "Irrevocably excused himself from the band" downplays the suicidal thoughts quite a bit and makes it seem his suicide was about quitting the band somehow. I'm sure that's not what you meant, but I'll add anyway: his death was not about leaving the band, I would presume. nor is that the reason the Band has every right to move on. These things aren't linked.

@@mammothaudioengineering not at all, my comment was specifically to those who presume to immortalize Chester as if the band shoudnt go on because of a singular decision he made on his own. He will be missed for sure, but time doesn't stand still because of it. Moving on with LP has nothing to do with any of that, in fact not doing so would be more of a disservice to Chester, his legacy, the band and the fans.

Except he excused himself from an amazing band. Mike is just keeping the legacy alive.

@@tobydobo4080 by choosing such a controversial figure? Trust me, I want so much to love the linkin park comeback… but the choice of Emily Armstrong and her background to take the face of this band? I’m not sure how I feel about that. Some of her past, and what seems to be her current connections and beliefs directly contradict what this band stood for and what touched my heart for so many years as a fan of this band. Sad and disappointed. I’m still not sure how I feel about all of this but man it really tarnishes stuff a bit. Linkin Park used to be such an incredible band that stood for amazing messages. This is weird.

@@hunterlawless6160 do you honestly think Mike purposely chose a 'controversial figure'? Surely you must know in this day and time there will always be 'anti establishment' group that digs up dirt on someone holding a high position. Plenty of public figures in the entertainment industry that have a past. It's what you believe to be true that makes a difference. Also if someone comes forward to essentially say they made mistakes in the past, you can either choose to look past it or cling onto the narrative that Emily is some sort of villain. But I guarantee you can dig up something juicy on any other celebrity you might admire.

Fair enough, honestly. I personally can't stand separating the art from the artist and if this is your breaking point, then I say stick to your conviction. I'm personally willing to see where this goes and make my decision then.

@@tobydobo4080 this is more than just “dirt” on a celebrity. She is a Scientology member and still seems to be current. You are correct that the facts are very blurry right now and that’s why I’m still somewhat unsure if I wanna support this and maybe even try to see them live… but her statement she made was good, but it failed to address the OTHER thing she’s being accused of which is Scientology connections. And in the statement she made she tiptoed around actually SAYING Danny Mastersons name, which is odd. I appreciate her coming forward but she seems like… just… such a weird choice for the band. Her voice isn’t bad but her factual past, and what seems to be her current connections (from what we’re figuring out, no concrete facts) are super iffy and weird. I just don’t know if I like her as a person. And in interviews she seems off. I just get a weird feeling about all of this

Why would Mike need to immortalize someone who irrevocably excused himself from the band? Mike made a business decision after 7 years to move forward with the legacy that Chester helped build. Canceling the band because of Chester's decision would be a disservice to the band and the fans. Pretty easy to understand.

I don't agree

Yeah it seems like more and more stuff is coming out and I am not liking it either, it's sad.

I mean, all of the stuff you mentioned about feeling is HIGHLY subjective - I thought she was great with the old stuff.

@@mammothaudioengineering I just being honest and just happy LP member left are playing. If someone can't say the issues that others heard, then it becomes a joke.

Thanks so much - I'm glad it provides some extra value even if you already know this stuff!

Why's that?

Awful because Chester wasnt alive to sing it? I have a feeling that if an impersonator was used in her place you would also gripe because they were trying to clone Chester. No one is trying to replace Chester, but someone else can surely sing the same songs to retain his legacy. They are so authorized to do that lol

Agree to disagree - I thought she sounded fine singing the old songs. Yes it's different, but as a fan of their old stuff, I'd rather hear a new and fresh take rather than a copy of Chester.

@@mammothaudioengineering Agree to disagree - The older LP songs is not her style and sounded bad. No one is asking for a copy of Chester just think Mike could of found someone better to start a new chapter with New songs. Sorry But not going to be LP with two missing members just like Kiss.

Static x is just as bad ass without Wayne. Proof is the sell out shows. Mike canceling LP just because Chester decided to divorce himself from the band would be a disservice to the band and the fans.

I agreeeeee

I am not sure I necessarily agree about the new band thing instead of continuing it as Linkin Park but I do agree with a lot of the other points you made, especially the Scientology crap. However, having heard the horror stories of how members of that cult get pressured and even threatened, I wanna give her some wiggle room there.

The fact she's a Scientologist nut job is really problematic.

That'a a headass take bro

@@mammothaudioengineering I ain't your bro. And second, what are you waiting for? Take your head out of there, then Lmao You don't wanna suffocate.

@@xtrm2009 go on pls

@@mammothaudioengineering Go on, take your head out of your behind pls

@@xtrm2009 pls i'm almost there

Thank you so much! I recently did a video on that, if you're interested. It's up on my channel and you can have the preset for free, as well :)

Same though! New tones are fun, but there's always new tones to be found in what we already have. Even just switching around the order of some stuff will greatly change those tones!

Thank you so much for adding that piece of knowledge!

That is so kind of you, man. Much appreciated!

Learning the very basics of how a drummer tends to move will help you a loooong way, to be honest! Just think about economy of motion and how many hits in fast succession a drummer can make with one hand at that will be more than enough to carry the project, for sure!

I am glad it helped you!

Great to hear! That was honestly a big goal for me and I am glad it helped you!
